Package: python3-debian
Version: 1.0.1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: emanuele.aina@collabora.com

When trying to copy a `Release` object or any `_multivalued` subclass
the code calls the constructor via `self.__class__(self)` and then the
`_multivalued.__init__()` treats fields in ``_multivalued_fields` as
strings, even though they have already been parsed in the source object.

This leads to the following exception:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "//home/em/deb822-test.py", line 18, in <module>
        r2 = r1.copy()
      File "/usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/debian/deb822.py", line 602, in copy
        copy = self.__class__(self)
      File "/usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/debian/deb822.py", line 1761, in __init__
        for line in filter(None, contents.splitlines()):   # type: str
                                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'splitlines'
